I've never seen this set sold but...

You could buy a set of SP clear caps and maybe WASD can laser legends on for you. I would try asking them.

That's, er, interesting.  Black and translucent.  So they look black without backlighting, but clearly show the backlighting through.  Curious.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

there's a REASON for dark translucent.

Regular clear makes the board look disgusting after a while when the dust and grease settles in..

Aha!  I have an old Apple keyboard in a transparent case - it is not pretty.

Necro post, but has anyone found clear keycaps with lasered letters?   I would want some for an ErgoDox and my other boards as well.   I think I've seen clear ErgoDox caps, but not lettered?   Thx.
